Apparently this is going to happen all year, PS4 will get patches weeks before XB1 for whatever stupid reason.

It will only get worse for you guys, PS4 just hit 50+ mil sold.
Developers will focus more on it, timed exclusivity and network features.

A certain demographic of the user base will now complain and say sharpshooter and dead eye are broken.
Those players perceive NBA 2K as a Call Of Duty game with perks and loadouts, and not as a basketball game.

It seems to me that some core aspects of gameplay design cater to those players, and it makes it really difficult for us offline folk to tune and roster fix that stuff out. The online sim crowd has it much worse.

Maybe not a D and F, but as I've said before it really depends. We can't tell people to get better at defense and in the same breath, complain about not being powerful enough when you do get defended. As I've said I want to see specific examples if people think it's being nerfed because everyone's definition of a good one is different. A sharpshooter is there to help space the floor and create easier opportunities for everyone else and I see a lot of them out there not playing the right way, mostly due to overdribbling.

We get our shooters curling off screens or get them good shots from team ball movement and when they're open, they're open. I know what you mean by late contest as opposed to full on contest, but we shouldn't accept that it's a good shot just because ratings say so...there are many different times where I see a contest coming but the shooter takes it anyways, when the better play was to be patient and hunt for a better shot. Or shot fake, one dribble in for a stop and pop.

Some games they shoot like *** but most games they don't. The way it's supposed to be. I know you didn't mean it this literally, but having a contested shot rating in the 90s doesn't mean you hit them at the same rate as a you do a good open shot. When I see my teammates take it like that and make it I never say "good shot" it's more "we got bailed out by the badges there".

At the end of the day I hope they get rid of the badges. I don't like it when relentless finishers drive, miss a contested layup, and wonder why relentless finisher is broken. Or when a shot creator takes a contested moving shot and wonders why hall of fame mid range dead eye didn't work. Yes nba players make those shots but you'll never see a coach saying "yeah that's what I want from my offense", plus those aren't supposed to go in as much so it's bizarre when I see panic after two contested misses in a game. Anything to promote better teamwork is good by me.

Ah, ok I wasn't aware you were mostly offline MyCareer. Agree with your points---and it's been said a bunch by many here, I really hope they separate offline and online for many of the reasons you mentioned.

Pro AM is a great mode if you play with teammates who will communicate and work together for the best result :-)

Im enjoying Park where it is right now, for the most part smarter play is being rewarded accordingly, seeing a lot less WTF shots going in. movement feels good as well. If it stays here Ill be happy despite some of the quirks.

If I'm dropping shots with my LDD and athletic finisher then a sharpshooter shouldn't have a problem.

I literally played a game against a few sharpshooters and stretch bigs and they were.bricking all they shots, all were wide open too. Defense is still a chore, even with a ldd, and dribbling overall feels more.clunky. That's why people keep spamming snatchbacks because.the free flow feel is nearly gone at this point. I'm sorry but I had.to delete the application. Spent too much vc.on new characters, offline is still a mess because cpu can't miss and ratings don't matter, and myleauge sim stats are terrible. 2k need to go back to ther old way of buisness when they weren't esports because.all these bandaid fixes cover.the faulty game mechanics and makes the game less fun. 2k16 is arguably worse than 17 but throughout it's lifespan it was one of the best 2k games ever made. I don't regret spending a dollar on that game, but this game shows that buying 2k at launch isn't smart


Yeah, they pretty much ruined the game. On the lowest of low keys, this may have been a cash grab move.

I simply can't agree with this "Sharpshooters need 10 feet of space" I know yall are exaggerating so I'm not taking it literally, but our sharpshooters have been just fine in Pro-AM and that's on a higher difficulty if I'm not mistaken.

I understand the frustration because they've tuned it so it may feel drastically different from before, forcing adjustments, but I haven't seen our shooters get affected if they're taking a quality shot.

Our sharpshooters are immensely helpful when playing with our post scorer. People like to spam steals in the paint, so when our sharpshooter makes the entry pass, the defender can't cheat off of them. Otherwise it's a good open look. And having multiple sharpshooters ensures other parts of the court remain spaced. You may not be getting shots as regularly, but the presence of a sharpshooter is what matters more. They just can't create as easily for themselves now which is the way it should have been.

As an ex-PS4 owner, I can easily say that PS4 is the vastly superior system.

Still doesn't excuse releasing patches for XB1 weeks after the fact.

Lol this comment made sense to you ?
How do created players and shooting percentage correlate. No matter what you say shooting 60-70 shooting outside the paint consistently is not an accurate depiction of basketball.
Have you ever heard of the 50-40-90 club?

Xbox One S > PS4 Pro
The stats confirm it, but I'm waiting for the next release of consoles to make my decision.

Seems like every patch results in an argument thread about the Sharpshooter...

I don't know anything about the patch, but I can tell you everything you need to know about shooting percentages when using the Sharpshooter. Some of these threads are a joke. I don't even know how developers even attempt to get feedback from this forum anymore.

I am both though. Actually I am more of the want to ball and have fun because I look at the "realistic" crowd as the super Sim guys w/ all these rules on how to play. I just want to play basketball but shooting and making every open shot isn't fun to me. It's not like people that want a somewhat realistic game doesn't want the game to be fun. But my thing is, you can't be crying about shooting while you are shooting 60-70% from 3 on what's supposed to be a basketball SIM. And then I don't see how people can say shooting is broken and it needs to be raised when you have people shooting like this. That doesn't mean shooting should be raised, it means you need to learn your shot, when to shoot, hot zones and etc.

Once again it's another band aid fix by the devs to hide the horrible defense. I thought phillymblog was exgaarrating at first as well, but he's right. Go on my career and look at your shot grades. Defenders who are running at you without even putting their hands up drop your shots to a f ir d through c- grade.



Archetypes ruined this game. They make you a role player then take your role away with patches. Whats the point of being a sharpshooter when playmakers can shoot just as good and can speed boost? What differentiated them was their ability to punish those who contested late. Im glad zig zag cheese is gone, but sometimes creating space by pump faking and running to the side will make you brick when curry and lilard, both sharpshooters irl, do this all the time.



I mjght go back to my ldd once I finish taking a break from this game, but defense is so bad I still don't see the point.


You should make a shot creator, u can literally shoot leaners in people faces and get B's and A's, its completely unbalanced now.

Saw some top ranked pro am stream recently, they still pull some crazy near contested deep range 3s in very high % and having 2-3 sharps in team is most efficient thing . Shot Creator is pretty easy to guard , I find leaning shots are a bit delayed always giving me chance to come up and contested while quick stop and normal shot is harder to react to. I think only bad players who were scoring a lot with sharps are effected because they used to take a bad shot and still convert it.
 
# 320 xzayla @ 12/13/16 10:51 AM
Is it just me or anyone else finding it much easier to hit wide open 3pt shots with even average shooters after this last patch? I just just shot over 55% in my last 2 games from 3pt range and I play on HOF with 3pth sliders down to 38.

Looks like I might have to delete this last patch because I don't want shooting that easy.
